Greg Eghigian is Professor of History at Penn State University, specializing in the history of modern science and medicine. He is presently writing a history of the UFO and alien contact phenomenon. His research on UFOs has received funding from the American Historical Association, the American Philosophical Society, NASA, and the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum.
